Correct Answer: Option 2 – Rio de Janerio is influenced by warmer ocean current than Arica

Weather fronts generally travel from west to east, unless affected by geographic features such as mountains and large bodies of water, particularly if they form in the lower levels of the atmosphere. Fronts are always accompanied by clouds, rain, changes in wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure and the moisture content of the air.

Since Rio de Janerio is to east, it will be influenced by warmer ocean current.

Correct Answer: Option 4

This is quite evident from the above graph which shows the approximately highest f the temperatures for Africa and Rio De Janeiro around the time from December 21 to March 20.

The temperatures in Africa and Rio De Janero gradually reduce from March through June.

Months from June to September experience the lowest of the temperatures according to the graph.

From September to December temperatures in Africa and Rio De Janeiro gradually increase but  are not the highest of the temperatures for the year.

Hence, the other options 1, 2 and 3 are incorrect.
